Monthly Themes

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a very foreign language…
Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.— from Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

As Unitarian Universalists, we have chosen a free faith that calls us to grow our souls and serve the world, and to do this in community. Over the course of the year, in the words and music of Sunday services, in small groups and discussion circles, in classes for adults, children and youth, and in personal reflection and practice, our life together is anchored in a series of spiritual themes – one each month through the cycle of the year. We invite you to engage the monthly themes in a number of ways:

[Monthly - various times offered] A monthly small group focusing on the monthly theological theme with guided questions and short readings. Led by a trained facilitator, these circles engage the deep questions of spirituality, with time for reflection, silence, and sharing. Contact: Rev. Luke Stevens-Royer (revluke@wbuuc.org or 651-426-2369×103)
